Yes, I'm old fashioned. I would like a cd player (Cue the "You still use cds/dvds/physical media?"). I still have a couple of portable cd players, but I can't seem to find a 3.5.mm to usb adapter. Has anyone found such an adapter, or tried one of those car cd players on amazon that play and charge through usb-c?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't even know they make that adapter.

I wonder if you pop the radio out, is there another plug on the back that will fit something available like, maybe an rca?

Another option is to just pick up a cheap Bluetooth portable CD player and connect it to your media system wirelessly (like you would with your phone).

Unfortunately, they only convert usb to 3.5, not the other way. I have one already and it doesn't work.

Bluetooth is an option, but could I connect it and my phone at the same time? I'm not sure if the Ranger can do 2 connections at a time.
You can connect 2. My wife and i both hook our phones to my ranger when we get in

As many features as this truck has, it wouldn't surprise me if you could connect a toaster to the input with dry spaghetti.

The only problem is, it won't be documented anywhere.
